SAY HELLO TO MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME IN 2022
After two years of lockdowns and restrictions , make 2022 the year you enjoy all Wirral has to offer . We ' re lucky to have so many great places to visit our doorstep , so treat yourself to getting out and about again this spring !
Say hello to :
1 . Meeting with friends : Wirral has no shortage of restaurants , pubs , cafés and bars , so catch up with your friends over a meal , a coffee or a pint or two .
2 . Hikes and bike rides : With miles of promenade , plus the Wirral Way , there are lots of places to enjoy a stroll or a bike ride . Walking / cycling is great exercise and is good for your mental health too .
6 . Looking out for each other : It ’ s been a tough few years for the elderly and those living alone , so let ’ s spread the love . Visit your grandparents and check in on your neighbours .
7 . Trips to the seaside : There are plenty of beaches to enjoy in Wirral , including West Kirby , Thurstaston and New Brighton . Don ’ t forget your bucket and spade !
8 . Art and culture : Wirral has two world class art galleries - Lady Lever and the Williamson - and Birkenhead Priory is the oldest standing building in Merseyside !
9 . Being kind : Not everyone will be ready to go out at the same pace . Respect each other and the places you go .
3 . Great days out for kids : Need ideas for a day out with your kids ? How about a tractor ride at Church Farm , crazy golf in New Brighton or a visit to Tam O ’ Shanter Urban Farm to stroke the animals ?
4 . Picnicking in the park : Did you know 30 parks in Wirral have been awarded Green Flag status for the quality of their green spaces ? They make the perfect spot for a picnic .
10 . Shopping local : Wirral ’ s businesses cemented their place at the heart of our communities during the pandemic , with many doing home deliveries to make sure no-one went without essential items , especially the elderly and vulnerable . Say ‘ thank you ’ by supporting our brilliant businesses in 2022 and shopping local .
5 . Enjoying a show : Floral Pavilion and Gladstone Theatre have everything from music and wrestling , to comedy and opera this year ! Future Yard has a great lineup of exciting bands too .
Wirral Council would love to hear about YOUR days out in Wirral ! Tag them in your photos using # SayHelloWirral
